MERRY LADS OF FOSS, THE. AKA and see "Lads of Foss (The)." Scottish, Reel (cut time). D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AB (Surenne): AAB (McGlashan, Rook). The tune was entered into the music copybook [1] of John Buttery (1784-1854), a fifer with the 37th Regiment, British army, who served from 1797-1814 and who late in life emigrated to Canada. Buttery's manuscript collection has also been identified as belonging to John Fife [1], with a suggested date of 1780. Fife was a family name, like Buttery, identified with the manuscript. "Merry Lads of Foss" was also entered into the 1840 music copybook of multi-instrumentalist John Rook, of Waverton, Cumbria.
